Day 9 at Sri Jaganatha Puri


Report by HG Radha Venkat prabhu from Puri:

There are no pictures from gambira as no cameras allowed) 
There is one picture from shyam Kali temple - Krishna was with Radha once and her aunt want her to get caught and she locked them in the room they were - she got all other to the room - but when they opened the room all they was radharanis praying to black color Kali

In the other pictures you will see a pot - this one is 500 years old - pot used by sarvabhuma bhattacharya.

Our host knows so much about puri and jagannath. So on the way back from gambira I had a opportunity to talk to HG Vaisesika Prabhu "to be a servant of Prabhupada do I need to know things as deep as madhavananda prabhu" - his response was "read CC and NOD and all this information is there - he is following is Guru and developed a deep interest and he is able to share this with others".  I responded that I am glad that I need not buy all all the books in his book table.. And he laughed and responded " I have a 80/20 rule - 80% basic books by Srila Prabhupada".  I responded currently  I have to spend 100% on Prabhupadas books as I don't know many of them - he responded "no one will be able to claim they know everything about our books - I don't know Gita well".

At which point the discussion came to an end and I walked out happy...
